Carlos' Binary Stuff: November 2006

http://carlosbinarystuff.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 16, 2006. Thread pooling in Java 5. Package. This package provides several utilities to handle threads and locks, simplifying the whole process. For now I only tried one thing: creating thread pools. This is something that comes in handy very often and it's now very simple to do. First, you have the usual Runnable. That implements whatever you want the thread to do. In this simple example it just prints "hello". Public class WorkerThread implements Runnable {. Public void run() {.

Carlos' Binary Stuff: December 2006

http://carlosbinarystuff.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 17, 2006. Java XML Data Binding. I don't recall the last time I used DOM or SAX to process XML documents. Things have evolved and processing XML seems more and more an unnecessary low-level work. And that's because of the superior XML Data Binding. XML Data Binding is all about mapping objects to XML, and back again. It's not document-centric, but data-centric. After all, isn't XML a way of representing data? The data is what matters. For example, if I have the following XML:. For what I...

Carlos' Binary Stuff: Exhibit 2.0 - Javascript web framework

http://carlosbinarystuff.blogspot.com/2008/03/exhibit-20-javascript-web-framework.html

Friday, March 07, 2008. Exhibit 2.0 - Javascript web framework. I just discovered Exhibit. And I'm amazed by its simplicity. Exhibit is a web framework written in Javascript that you can use to display data. It's not a general purpose framework. It's focused on displaying data in several formats, like interactive tables, maps, graphs, etc. What I like about Exhibit is how simple it is to use. Everything is done in a simple HTML file! Tag pointing at the js. Exhibit is part of SIMILE project. Pyhton devel...

Carlos' Binary Stuff: May 2008

http://carlosbinarystuff.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 02, 2008. Parse command line arguments with Args4J. Is a useful library to parse command line arguments, instead of doing it by hand. I'm very pleased with its simplicity, something I didn't find in others libraries. Has all sort of useful libraries and Commons CLI. Is one of them. And for a while I used Commons CLI. But although the code became more organized I felt I had to write as much lines of code as before! So after another search I found Args. The main class should look something like...

Carlos' Binary Stuff: June 2007

http://carlosbinarystuff.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 20, 2007. Here's an interesting article. About innovation and how we can feed our brain to breed new ideas. I still haven't tried the techniques, but they seem logical enough to work. And no, the reason this blog hasn't been updated has nothing to do with lack of ideas, but with time-consuming personal matters :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Carlos' Binary Stuff: January 2007

http://carlosbinarystuff.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 16, 2007. Linux needs better IM clients! There are several IM clients for Linux and they work perfectly fine for the most basic operations, like chatting and file transfer. I personally like Gaim. It's fast, stable and the simplicity of its interface is great. I've also tried aMsn. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Linux needs better IM clients!

Carlos' Binary Stuff: JavaFX goes mobile

http://carlosbinarystuff.blogspot.com/2009/02/javafx-goes-mobile_13.html

Friday, February 13, 2009. I think this are good news for the developers. At least, I'm finally curious about trying JavaFX. As for the business itself, we have to wait. It also depends on the VM and more specifically on its performance. There's no point on having beautiful (or easily developed) but slow apps. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Thumb navigation and Pointui. In that time it was a great thing.now, we want to be able to the same things but with a simplified interface. That's the most recent evolution: thumb navigation aka "getting rid of the pen and allowing us to use our fingers" :). Of what it feels like. Go ahead and try it. Friday, January 11, 2008. Gentoo and Ubuntu 7.10. A few days ago I installed Ubuntu. 710 I needed something quickly and went for Ubuntu. As you might know I used Gentoo. From this...
